Tactics are ways of resisting change. For inmates and others in counseling,
treatment, or any program for change, awareness of Tactics can reduce resistance
and open the door to learning. For staff training, this knowledge is invaluable.

CONTENT: Filmed live in a state prison, Dr. Stanton Samenow
interacts with incarcerated men and women. They confront concrete examples
of these truths: Thoughts trigger actions. Errors in thinking trigger Tactics.
Tactics are ways of acting that cut off communication and allow us to hide
from ourselves, shutting out those who would help us change. Tactics help to keep
people stuck in dead-end lives.

This is the third set of tapes in the Commitment to Change Series. It
has just been released. Filmed with drug using offenders from residential treatment
programs, this series focuses on how to help offenders change their thinking so
that they consider consequences BEFORE they act. As with the earlier series,these
are three full-length videos divided into individual sessions.

In the newest installment, Accepting Responsibility In a Finger-Pointing World, Dr. Stanton Samenow explores the concepts of justification of thinking errors with a group of ex-offenders who are currently in recovery.

The series includes:

Three full-length DVDs and accompanying curriculum (which includes discussion questions, workbook questions, activities and roleplays, all based on the series).
